The Devils Point, Cairn Toul & Sgor an Lochain Uaine (Angels' Peak)
| Distance | Ascent | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 38 km/ 23.61 miles | 1380 m/ 4527.56 ft | 10 hours plus |
This is probably the finest group of mountains in the Cairngorms as the munros have well defined peaks rather than plateau-topped summit's like the others. The route is a long demanding route over remote countryside covering 3 of the best munros in the area giving a worthwhile long days outing.
Time can be saved by camping at Derry Lodge or Staying the night in Corrour Bothy and doing other hills in the area.
